If That’s Your Boyfriend, He Wasn’t Last Night

“The most misunderstood song there is. It has such bravado, but it’s more about how at that time I was seeing somebody and I didn’t know they had been seeing someone else. That person confronted me in public. I wasn’t as pretty as they were, and they just really gave a scathing attack on my person. So that’s what came to mind: “Well, if that’s your boyfriend, he wasn’t last night.” That’s what that song is about.”Meshell Ndegeocello (305)
